Quick comment: Taiwan's famous mouthpiece "Brother Mustard" makes a joke. Is it not intentional or not enough?

The famous Taiwanese "Brother Mustard" Huang Shicong has been very popular in the mainland recently. Whether the show is derogatory or praiseworthy to the mainland, he can attract attention. From the perspective of viewing ratings and click-through rates, Huang Shicong has earned it. It's a pity that the whole thing was turned around as a joke.

Huang Shicong said in the program earlier that "the economy is deteriorating, and mainlanders can't afford mustard", but he was called "brother mustard" by mainland netizens. Chongqing Wujiang Fuling Mustard Company also sent him two packages of mustard. Recently, Huang Shicong changed his mouth to tout that the Beidou satellite system of the mainland is large and accurate, surpassing GPS to become the overlord. A mainland netizen said sourly, "I can't send this to you!"

"Mainlanders can't eat pickled mustard" and once said that "Mainlanders can't eat tea eggs" are both classics. It's a well-known mouthpiece, it should be well-informed, make such low-level mistakes, and have a lot of jokes. Is it intentional or does it not know enough about the mainland? It may be both.

Some people say that Taiwanese TV shows are too homogenized. In order to get the ratings, famous people need to take a stance to get out of their place. How can they attract attention? There are also people who are aggrieved by the mainland. The so-called united front is good for you, bullying is not good for you, you say that you are ruthless, and you say that you are ruthless when you fight back. In short, you will always be right. Whatever mainlanders do is wrong.

We would rather believe that famous people make jokes because they don't know enough about the mainland, rather than other things. If you don’t understand enough, you can travel to the mainland more, do more homework, and read more real and comprehensive information about the mainland, so you won’t be jokes.

If it has other intentions and the purpose is to slander and demean the mainland, spread false information, slander the feelings of the people on both sides of the strait, and create cross-strait contradictions, it is of a bad nature, and this trend cannot be long.
